  • Description

    "The Soay sheep is a breed of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) descended from a population of feral sheep on the 100-hectare (250-acre) island of Soay in the St Kilda Archipelago, about 65 kilometres (40 mi) from the Western Isles of Scotland. It is one of the Northern European short-tailed sheep breeds and remains physically similar to the wild ancestors of domestic sheep. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soay_sheep" Photo by Andrew Curtis, 2020.
